Saab Autos might be heading for liquidation but the company's car museum has been saved at the last minute. Trollhättan Council, Saab AB and the Wallenberg Committee have joined together to buy the museum and its vintage cars for $4.1 million dollars.

"I've been living with Saabs for all my life," Saab enthusiast Rune Moberg tells Radio Sweden. "For a while, I didn't even realize I was a fan. And then when we went to the museum to have a look at the history, I realized there was a lot of stuff I didn't know about Saab, and that really clinched it for me. There was no way back."
